It's a great day

time for a new post it is 2011! and this blog is still here. The Clay Club is going strong. They changed the college name to Lone Star college Mongtgomery. I suppose the Clay club is now called LSC-Montgomery Clay Club. Still the same idea. mud and fire. dry earthy oxides, potassium and sodium salts and clay transformed each week for your enrichment/entertainment.

MC2 Wood Kiln

We fired the wood kiln tuesday st. paddy's day and unloaded thursday. I think it went well. some porcelain cups with st. john's black I had in there were nice and Renee had a red box that was nice. my rutile test tiles were tan so - not enough reduction i guess.

we fired the wood kiln

Hey! tuesday was a good day - we fired the wood kiln at lone star college - montgomery. it was st. paddy's day so every one was checked for green. and everyone was irish, i suspect. or got pinched. it was a good day. lots of great wood chopping. and great kiln stoking.

i'm so glad that amy and jamie came by to relate their stories about tech and unt.

tomorrow we open the kiln to unload so we will know how it went. Until then...stay muddy.

Summer!

I hope everyone is having a great summer. Staying away from the floods and such. Wanted to remind you people to watch clayhouston.com for their ClayHouston Fest is on June23&24
